Hello!
Happy Wednesday! It's been a whirlwind week here so far. Somehow the days have blurred. I hope all my American friends enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving weekend! I've started to get some Christmas decorating done. Our tree is up. It's naked but it's up. Let's just say that within 5 minutes of the tree being up it had a furry decoration. Pepsi (our cat) has decided that the tree is the perfect perch. We are waiting a few days to see if she is able to actually knock the tree down before we put any decorations on it!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Our lovely hostess this week is the one and only Amy O'Neill! Amy is the colour goddess on the team! She can put any two colours together and make them look fabulous! Oh, and she's the queen of "elements"! I love what she adds to her cards! Head over to her blog and check it out!

So of course I"m still working on Christmas cards. I think I may get a few more done but I sure didn't get as many done as I would have liked. Oh well. I love the Merry Little Christmas DSP from SU and decided to use it for this card. I threw in some real read and some red foil paper and voila!

Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone has had a great start to their week! I hope my American friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow! Christmas isn't that far away! Are you ready? I am definitely not ready. The kids are bugging me to put the tree up but we have to put our tree up in stages. See, last year our kitten was just over 3 lbs. The tree was her favourite hiding spot. She could climb that sucker lightening fast. This year she's about 7 lbs. We're not sure our tree can handle the 7 lbs so we'll have to put it up without decorations to see what she does. I'll have to get my squirt bottle ready just in case she decides to go for a climb. Which she will...because she's a cat!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week is the amazing Narelle Farrugia! Narelle is our fussy cutting, flower making queen! Her cards are multi-layered masterpieces! Head over to her blog to see what I mean!

Narelle also decided to throw some circles in there! I'm wondering if my friends from the Southern Hemisphere got together and decided to torture me together!!! Needless to say I decided to stick true to the sketch on this one. I am still lacking in Christmas cards so I used some of the Quilted Christmas DSP from SU along with some red and black cardstock and threw this baby together!

Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great start to your week. Have you had any snow yet? We had a bit of snow last Thursday. Not enough to create chaos but enough to make me wish I lived somewhere warm that had palm trees. Somewhere like Hawaii!!! I am not a cold weather girl, which is funny because I was born and raised and have lived my whole life in Canada! Oh well! I guess I'll just have to accept that the snow is coming and try and enjoy it!!!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today! Our hostess this week is our favourite New Zealand card maker and one of the most creative people I know...Karren Johnson! Karren's cards always amaze me so head over to her blog and check them out!

Karren's sketch obviously threw me for a loop. Do you see those circles. There are 6! 6! And here I thought Karren and I were friends!!!! I took a few deep breaths and dug in. I found some cut flower and leaves stamps and went to town. This card came together surprisingly easy for me. It's truly a shocker! Trust me!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches Blog and check out the beautiful cards the Design Team has created! You will be inspired! We can't wait to see what you come up with !

Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone has had a great start to their week. We have had some early mornings this week with the time change! It was so lovely to get an extra hour of sleep but the boys are waking up super early these days. I must say that I also am waking up around 4 am every day! Hopefully after a few more days we'll be used to it!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of our favourite French Design Team member, Cecile Ribon! Cecile has the most amazing die cuts on her cards and they always inspire me! Please head over to her blog and check her beautiful creations out!

Of course I'm still trying to tackle the Christmas card problem! I will be tackling that one for a while at the rate I'm going! I need to put some additional effort into it! I decided to combine some Copper foil and some basic black for this card. I just couldn't help myself!

Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great week! Did you get a lot of trick or treaters last night? We didn't have as many as we usually do. Not sure what happened there. I saw lots of kids out there but we live in a weird spot and lots of kids miss our house. I guess that means more candy for me to eat!!! Oh dear!!!

We have a new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! I have the honour of being this week's hostess. It's always such a stressful job because you're never sure if people are going to like your sketch or want to play along! I went with something pretty straight forward so hopefully people will want to join in this week!

In order to get my Christmas cards ready, I think I'll have to make one a week for the next year!!! I also tend to pick one set and stick with it through the whole season so if you're sick of seeing this set, I'm really sorry but I do really love it and think it's so perfect for Christmas!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the amazing cards the Design Team has created for you! I can't wait to see what you create this week!
